Thomas
H.1 O'Reillywas born in County Cavan, Ireland July 08, 1852.Thomasdied November 04, 1906 Canandaigua, New
York, at 54 years of age.

Thomas
H. O'Reilly, for 31 years one of Canandaigua's best known and respected
businessmen, died at his home on Main Street South, on Sunday morning, aged
about 53 years.A blood affection
known as thrombosis caused death after a short illness. For a half dozen years
past, Mr. O'Reilly had been engaged in the ice business, and prior to
that time for 26 years operated sprinkling carts.

He
was an industrious, upright and hard working man and doubtless overwork hastened
his death.Mr. O'Reilly
began the street sprinkling service when only the business portion of Main
Street afforded the luxury.This
was before the days of the water system and the supply of water was taken from
wells on Bemis Street, which supplied several elevated wooden tanks.Mr. O'Reilly also conducted both houses in connection with his Bemis
Street enterprise.

Besides
one brother, James O'Reilly, of Binghamton, two daughters, Retta and
Mary, and two sons, Charles and Austin O'Reilly survive. Funeral
services were held at St. Mary's Church on Wednesday. His body was interred 1906 Canandaigua, New
York, Calvary Cemetery.

Thomas
H. Jr. O'Reillywas born Canandaigua, New York January 25, 1883.Canandaigua City Clerk office record number 0086. Thomas died May
12, 1904 Canandaigua, New York, at 21 years of age.

Shortly
before noon yesterday Thomas H. O'Reilly, Jr., aged 21 years, was fatally
shocked by electricity in the cellar of the Fountain Cafe while delivering ice.
Stories of just how the shock was received differ. He had gone into the cellar
and was preparing to adjust an incandescent burner attached to a long line of
insulated wire, when his companions heard him give a cry of pain.

The
next instant he was found lying face downward on the cellar bottom, his hands
doubled beneath him, gripping the wire.There
was a half inch of water under the body and this is supposed to explain the
severity of the shock.The limp
body was carried from the cellar, and Dr. H. C. Buell, whose office is in
the same block, was immediately on hand. Dr. Donovan was also summoned
and both worked heroically to restore life, but without success.

Coroner
Warner soon arrived and made an investigation. He found the insulation worn
from the wire in several places, but was unable to explain the presence of
sufficient power in an incandescent circuit to cause death.

The
remains were removed to the Curtice undertaking rooms. Expressions of great
sympathy were heard on every side for the father, who was prostrated when told
that his son was dead.
